Virus won't go Away

[Tommy Glassford]

I use the free edition of AVG and it came up with Trojan Horse Downloader
Dyfica.AD and it was located in my PQSC folder and the specific file is
02583B.DAT. The software advised it couldn't remove it. When I manually
tried, I can't subfolder it, I can't delete it.

Any advice would certainly be welcome.

PQSC = PowerQuest Second Chance = a system status save/restore
application equivalent to the System Restore feature of Windows XP.

It looks like you have an infected checkpoint file saved by Second
Chance. Try using SC to purge checkpoints.
